Doesn't seem to be a notable record label. No sources found. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 02:47, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Incorrect assumption; Street Sounds was one of the most succesful record labels in the UK. There are many source references [1]; [2]; [3]; there are numerous references to the label and artists who cite the label as pinnacle to their careers including Greg Wilson [4]; Dave Pearce Radio One talks about the importance of Street Sounds and Morgan Khan in an interview [5]; an interview with Mike Allen of Capital Radio abouth the importance of Street Sounds and UK Fresh an event Strett Sounds held [6]; the label pioneered Electo and Hip Hop music in Europe; the Street Sounds label was licenced to Universal Music UK in 2004 for a Electro album best of TV release [7]; Street Sounds Electro 1 sold in ecxess of 60,000 units source BPI (British Phonographic Industry); Streetsounds Electro 2 sold in excess of 60,000 units same source. Please consider these facts. Thank you for your time and patience. Urbanfunkmaster (talk) 05:42, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep It seems the label was instrumental in the genre's entry into Europe and it is the business of a notable individual Morgan Kahn. At the very least this is merge-worthy. Also, there's plenty of references. That said, 60,000 units in a country of millions doesn't seem much to me. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:32, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - notable as having numerous hit albums in the UK - fchd (talk) 16:22, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• None of the sources cited by Urbanfunkmaster are reliable, they're just stuff like Discogs and Amazon and interviews. I should also add that Urbanfunkmaster revealed on IRC that he is Morgan Kahn. Besides, since Morgan is a red link, what could we merge this to? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 17:49, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Morgan isn't a red link when it is spelt as Morgan Khan. The amount of UK charting albums on this label can be found at Chart Stats Archive - about twenty of them. I'd say the label is considerably more notable than Khan himself. - fchd (talk) 17:53, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Oops. I kant spel sio gud tuday. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 17:57, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Not your fault - it was spelt incorrectly as a link on a post above. All the content on the Khan article has been added by User:Urbanfunkmaster, so there's a huge conflict of interest over there. If there is a merge, I'd merge Khan to Street Sounds, rather the other way around. Still, seeing this has promoted me to get out my CDs of Street Sounds Anthems Vols 4 & 5 and give 'em a spin. - fchd (talk) 18:15, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Clearly the Chart Stats Archive is a reliable source. If Discogs is anything like IMDB, it's probably not reliable and Amazon is only nice to prove its existence. Why do you (TenPoundHammer) consider interviews unreliable? - Mgm|^(talk) 23:41, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• STRONG KEEP - A search on "Street Sounds Electro" (its most notable compilation release) returns 77,900 GHits from (mostly) credible sources. (Indeed, the shear amount of material in the "blogosphere" alone is testament to the impact this lable had). This is one of the most notable labels in music history, period. Street Sounds and Morgan Khan are major contributors to the dance music and electro hip hop scene and recently had commemorative CD releases in cooperation with Universal Music. There have been numerous entrys from their 12" singles and compilation albums into the UK Gallup Album and Singles charts which establishes their notibility under Wiki guidelines.
